Skin Lemonade

'Morning! I want to show you what I did last night and loved the results.

Longer ago, I've seen an extremely simple facial scrub recipe that Kandee Johnson did a tutorial on. All you need is a lemon/ lemon juice, sugar and some cotton pads.

(Looks like I was getting ready for tequila shots, right? :DD )

1. Take the lemon and squeeze the juice out on the pads, or just pour lemon juice on them if you have it ready.

( My nail broke just before that.. ;(( )

2. Put some sugar on the pads, it will have the abrasive role in this process.

3. Start massaging the sugar-lemon pads over your face for a few minutes, then rinse. Add more lemon and/or sugar meanwhile if needed. I must add, I have pretty oily skin with big pores. This thing did wonders for it, it turned SUPER soft, but not shiny at all, pores reduced to absolute minimum. With scrubs in general, this matte effect lasts for a few minutes, then it gets all shiny again. But with this simple little trick, the effect lasted even the next morning, even in this heat, no puffy, shiny face or so. I think I need to do this more often, for example before doing my make-up/ going out. P.S. I do this pretty rarely, and also, lemon can damage some skin types. I use it more as an emergency remedy, when I really need to make my skin look closer to flawless!Has any of you tried this?

heh, i've seen this first on kandee too. i've used it ever since, even if i have very sensitive skin and it works wonders for cleaning, sanitizing, makes it soft, makes blemishes go away much faster, cleans old acne scaring, it's good for everything there might be wrong with your skin.

and also lightens up your hair if u use it in the sun :P just a side tip

Heeeeeey dear :D yes, some people criticized her for it, might not work on every skin type, but it does for me...That's why I wanted to warn everyone that they should do it at their own risk :P hmm, should do this tomorrow by the way! ;)
